Review

"[A] sensitive, perceptive biography. . . [Nicholson] successfully portrays both the genius and the tragedy of the legendary Lady Day." --Publishers Weekly "�A� sensitive, perceptive biography. . . �Nicholson� successfully portrays both the genius and the tragedy of the legendary Lady Day." --Publishers Weekly "A worthy complement and counterpoint to Holiday's own account." --Library Journal "With perhaps more success than any biographer so far, Nicholson illuminates complexities in [Holiday's] personality, her art, and her times that made the singer a phenomenon of American culture. As good as he is in biographical detail, his greatest contribution is perspective on the singer's creative process."--Doug Ramsey, JazzTimes
